John 5:3: Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

In works of charity who hide
Their fraud and sacrilegious pride,
As not infallible they deem
The Holy Ghost, the God supreme:
Their hearts they think He cannot know
Conceal'd beneath an outward show,
And thus the Spirit of truth deny,
And thus blaspheme the Lord Most-High.
